Day 2 Embryology Report

I just got the call this morning. Our embryos are doing well! Believe me, at each step in the process I am incredibly grateful for any good news and I don't take it for granted.

We currently have 6 embryos that are 4 cell and look something like this:

We also have one that has 3 cells and one that has 2 cells. The doctor said that they want to see between 2-4 cells on day 2, so I was assured this is good.

Tomorrow morning, we'll get a call before 7:30am to let us know the plan. If we have 5 or more perfect (grade A) 8 cell embryos, they will push transfer to Friday. Just because they aren't grade A doesn't mean they aren't viable, but it's one indicator they use. Last cycle we did push to 5 day transfer. We transferred the two that made it (as pictured in this blog's title banner) and the rest died. Either way is fine with me, just hoping that a few more make it this time and maybe we'd even have a few to freeze (now I am getting greedy).

We really do appreciated the love, support, prayers, and thoughts we've gotten so far, and really hope we can continue with the good news!
